We Don't Get to Write the Ending by Aleathia Drehmer is a powerful collection of intimate poems deftly exploring all aspects of relationships, from bittersweet beginnings to resigned endings and everything that might exist in between. The poems are at times joyful, at others harrowing, but always coming from a place of recognizable truth.-William Taylor Jr., author of A Room Above a Convenience Store
If you don't see yourself in some of these poems, then you haven't lived. If you know Aleathia you know she has a big heart full of love and kindness and gives it fully to those that matter the most in her life. While that is a beautiful characteristic sometimes it backfires. In Aleathia Drehmer's latest collection, We Don't Get to Write the Ending, she writes poems of beginning and ending love stories. It is a memoir collection of broken hearts and lost loves where the pieces of the puzzle didn't quite fit. These poems do not come across as bitter or schmaltzy but are written with the subtle grace that flows form the poet's heart. I have already read this three times. You will too.-Scot D. Young, author of They Said I Wasn't College Material
